“Belinda took great care of our dog Ollie and sent regular updates and pictures. Ollie is an anxious dog and he seemed very comfortable there. We would definitely have him stay with her again!”
“Thank you to Luciana and her mom for taking such great care of Brody. I highly recommend them and I love receiving pictures of him. Definitely makes me feel better when I see how happy he is and that he’s playing with other dogs. Thanks again! :)”
“Cheuck was an excellent sitter for our dog Simka. We basically never leave her with someone we don’t know, but he made us comfortable from the beginning and she had a great time. It was fun to see photos and videos throughout her stay.”
“Alexa was great. We had a family emergency and she was available last minute. Milou came home happy and tired and we got the cutest pictures with updates! It was our first rover experience and worked perfectly.”
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind and clearly loves animals. I received frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which really helped to ease my mind. I loved the videos watching my dog, Mylo, get to play with Marcia and Cosmo! My high-energy puppy came home happy and exhausted, which is the best compliment I can give considering Mylo’s energy level! I highly recommend Marcia to any pet owner looking for a loving and responsible sitter.”
“My puppies have stayed with Carol a few times and they always have so much fun! She sends me pictures and videos all day and the pups are exhausted when I pick them up which is nice!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Xiuping and her family. They are so kind and friendly. Very responsive and trustworthy as well. I got many cute pics and felt my dog was given a lot of attention and well cared for. I would definitely rebook next time.”
“Rose was attentive and caring, and made sure Lola had plenty of exercise and fun. My little came home happy and healthy, and the pictures from the day let me know she was having a good time. Messaging back and forth was quick and easy. I would request Rose again.”
“Maritza was wonderful and Dill enjoyed his time with her. Every day he was excited to see her and would run straight into her house. Maritza was very communicative and flexible. Appreciate the wonderful care she gave to Dill!!”

About: For nearly every year of my childhood, I interacted with and cared for a dog in my household. Throughout college and the early stages of my teaching career, I took care of my family's dogs periodically. Additionally, my wife and I fostered a dog through the SPCA for two months in 2021. I have worked for Rover before and I have had wonderful experiences! I moved to Somerville in September of 2021 and then I moved to Malden in August of 2025. I'm a teacher and soccer coach, working full time between the end of August and the end of June, but I would like to help folks out with their doggos between school years! Ideally, I would prefer to walk and play with my clients' dogs on weekdays, any time between 9 am and 9 pm, however, I can be flexible regarding earlier in the mornings and later in the evenings. I can only do drop-in visits, walks, and doggy daycare. I'm quite knowledgeable and easy-going around animals, learning their preferences and routines quickly. You can trust me in your home and with your pets, because I am cautious, perceptive, and caring. In the grand scheme of things, I love giving dogs a lot of attention and affection and they will surely enjoy my company!
“Vanessa and her partner took excellent care of my puppy Mochi. They frequently sent me pictures and videos of their little adventures with Mochi, and kept me up to date on the little one's endeavor. By the end of the stay, my little Mochi was giving them goodbye kisses and I could tell she had a wonderful time. I could not be happier with the care Mochi received and I am finally relieved to have found someone who can wonderfully care for my puppy in my absence.”
About: I've been working with dogs for over five years, including dogsitting and walking through Rover, as well as hands-on experience at animal shelters. I'm especially comfortable with senior dogs, I've even cared for a 20-year-old pup! I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going at a slower pace for older dogs or providing extra comfort and care. I'm currently working remotely, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I take dogs on regular walks, at least once in the morning and once in the evening. When a dog is in my care, they truly become part of the family. Whether it's a car ride, a visit to a pet-friendly store, or a mini-hike, your pup will be by my side, enjoying the day with me. I prioritize safety, comfort, and transparency when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I'm always upfront about the environment your dog will be in, and if your dog isn’t comfortable around others, I won’t host additional pets during their stay. I’m experienced with administering medications and keeping an eye on each dog’s overall well-being, including tick checks and monitoring for any signs of discomfort. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll contact you right away to keep you fully informed.

Marcia took great care of our pup! After just moving to the area, we were hoping to find someone we could trust and where our dog would be safe. Marcia provided updates throughout the day, pictures, and a summary after pick up. Our dog was very happy. We can’t wait to use her again!
Unfortunately, one of my dogs has cancer and I have a week of early morning trainings for work. (530a drop offs- Yikes!). Yesika is still willing to take her every day, work with the energy that she has that day, and offs care across the day (additional small meals, medication for nausea,etc). So glad that I have this resource.
We were visiting Boston with our fur baby and realized that a couple of activities we had planned weren’t dog-friendly, so with little time to prepare we turned to Rover and found Akhil. We had never left her with someone we hadn’t met before, so we were a bit nervous, but choosing Akhil turned out to be the best decision. He and his family took wonderful care of her, kept her entertained, and made sure she felt comfortable and at ease. He also kept us updated throughout with frequent messages and lots of pictures, which really reassured us and allowed us to enjoy our time without worry. Thank you, Akhil, for stepping in on such short notice and taking such great care of our girl, we truly appreciate it!
Brianna has taken such good care of Oliver at a really hard time for him. He is so happy to see her and her home is such warm and cozy for my dog. She communicates perfectly to let me relax after I drop him. You can tell Brianna really loves the dogs she cares for.
Susan is the best! Pia couldn’t be in better hands, she always goes the extra mile. She is friendly, pays attention to every detail, and makes sure Pia is always comfortable. She keeps Pia active, gives her medications, and makes sure she stays warm and cozy. She even sings to her, and they’ve developed their own little dance routine. Last time, Pia even came home with a new heating pad! I truly couldn’t trust her more.I highly recommend her!
Amber was very loving and caring, and she goes above and beyond! She suggested a meetup the day before to help facilitate a smooth session, and she addressed all the needs during the sitting session and sent lots of feedbacks and photos. Would definitely leaving my dog with Amber next time I visit Boston!
